UPDATE: The adorable kitty has been adopted!!!!

WHAT A CUTIE!!!

Our shelter does not have space for cats but we Spay & Neuter them for free. And we are happy to post kitties for adoption or foster.

This kitten was found by a caring human but they cannot keep him/her. If anyone has tried, it is difficult to tell the s*x of young kittens. 🤦‍♀️ The rescuer doesn’t
know for sure what this cutie is.

If you, or anyone you know, are looking for a friendly kitten, who is already using the litterbox, please let us know!

It is never too early to start planning for Spring! 🌺 Mark your calendars!

This is why a Spay & Neuter Program is such a critically important part of our shelter.

We receive calls and messages regularly about a single abandoned or stray dog. But too many of the reports are for either pregnant females or mom dogs with litters. The mother dog finds it difficult enough to locate food for herself, let alone a litter of always hungry pups.

Those who are concerned enough to call or go online to report these dogs, would normally reach out to a publicized government department, like Animal Control or the Police. On Abaco, the majority of calls and messages are made to us.

Cheers to our dedicated volunteers, in this case, Chris Roberts and Donna Rees, seen here rescuing this pup family in Bahama Coral Island. We were blessed to find a great mom who has been caring for her litter.

Future posts will introduce this beautiful pup family. We are looking for adopters and fosters for this Potcake family and all others already at our shelter.

If you cannot adopt or foster, please consider: sharing this post with others, making a donation of your time as a volunteer or contributing financially.

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

SUCCESS!!! We had a great Spay & Neuter Clinic this weekend. Abaco Shelter partnered with Phoenix Veterinary Services for the 2-day/2-location clinic and we spayed & neutered 75 cats and dogs, a new record!!!

DID YOU KNOW that in 6 years, a pair of unspayed/unneutered dogs & cats plus their offspring, can produce up to 67,000 puppies & kittens?

For those who brought their pets this weekend, and all who have already spayed/neutered their pets, we thank you! And thank you to all the volunteers who pitched in and helped make it a success.

Spay & Neuter programs are a key to help curb the over population of dogs & cats. They reduce the number of dogs/puppies entering our already over capacity shelter. They reduce the number of dogs/puppies on the wait list to get a spot in our shelter. They reduce the number of neglected dogs/puppies left by the side of the road or in the bush or at the dump.

Thank you for your continued support of our mission.

UPDATE: Another wonderful day! It warms our hearts at Abaco Shelter to see pupper pictures of our adoptees. The joy we see in the pups loving life, keeps us motivated to rescue as many as we can!

Earlier this year, Abaco experienced a rash of fires, resulting in the death of wildlife, strays and pets. Like our shelter volunteers, our Fire & Rescue crews are all volunteer. They dedicate their time, energy and talent to keeping us and our property safe.

We received litters of pups rescued from the fires, sadly most without their mothers. This darling pup and two siblings were rescued by firefighters. And Jordan, a volunteer fireman, with Hope Town Fire & Rescue, found the pup and he and his fiancee Lianna, adopted him. They appropriately named him Lucky. A pawfect ending to a tragic situation. 🐶

We are grateful for the service of our volunteer firemen. We still morn the passing of one of our firefighters, Stephen Jenkins, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty this year. 💔

UPDATE - the owner has been found! Thank you for sharing this post!

DOES ANYONE RECOGNIZE THIS DOG???

Dog was rescued wandering downtown Marsh Harbor, near The Conch Inn.

Obviously well cared for. If you own this dog, please contact us at Abaco Shelter. If you recognize the dog, please let the owner know. We are sure someone is looking for the beautiful pup!

The dog is being taken care of at the shelter. If the owner is found, we will need to schedule a time for pick up at the shelter. Because we are a volunteer run organization, we are only at the shelter at certain times, for feeding and care of the animals. Thank you!

UPDATE: The final Potcake update of Mom Layla’s adorable pups! When born, Ellis, appeared to be all black!!! And she had a fluffy puppy coat. Now she just has fluffy ears, like her sister Willow. She and 2 of her 3 siblings all live in HT!

Ellis had a DNA test, what do you think her top breed is? Check out the photos to see!

All four Potcake pups are living their best lives! We are thrilled these pups remained island dogs! And we are grateful for all who choose adoption. Thank you.

UPDATE: Can you stand this much cuteness early in the day? This is Sampson (formerly Zeus), the only boy of Layla Mom’s litter. ❤️ It thrills us beyond words to see our pups growing up happy and loved. And it is even better that siblings, Sampson and Caywee, are getting to grow up next door to each other, as beach pups!
